The Henry

C. Sanborn School, built in 1962 and renovated in 1996, was named for a former school superintendent. A neighborhood school, Sanborn has 360 students in grades kindergarten through five. The professional staff of 17 full-time classroom teachers is highly educated and continues to take advantage of professional development opportunities. The faculty and staff are supplemented by additional part-time individuals in order to provide various support services.

The core curriculum includes up-to-date resource materials. Beyond the core academic areas, students participate in physical education, music, visual arts, media, and computer literacy classes. All third graders learn to read music through playing the recorder. All fourth and fifth graders are invited to join an after-school chorus. Student Council is a mandatory activity for all fourth and fifth graders on a rotating basis and emphasizes social responsibility.

Up to 250 parents regularly volunteer their time each year to assist in the operation of the school and meet the diverse needs of our students. In addition, our PTO raises funds to provide resources for enrichment and other projects.
